This hotel maintains a high standard of cleanliness and the staff shows professionalism. The rooms have been updated in the past three years and after staying here multiple times, I can see steady improvements. Heat/AC work well though it isn't easy to quickly adjust the temperature. Unlike many hotels in this price range they do leave the heat or AC...

Arrived and was informed at the front desk that they were having trouble with their water heater, so they couldn't guarantee we'd have hot water for showers. We assumed all area hotels were booked because of a college event, so decided to give it a try. They didn't offer to discount our stay, by the way, because of the water...

This is a solid 2 star hotel. It was clean and comfortable enough, well located and the management was responsive to a small problem with my door.
I chose it because it was $35 cheaper than the place 2.5 miles down the road. Money well saved.
I did not have breakfast but opted to have brunch at Perkins next door.

We were here for a two night stay due to family weekend at the university. All other hotels were booked solid. Its a budget hotel and its very apparent. The room was okay but NO hot water to shower in the morning and no idea when it would be fixed. The television had no sound.

the garbage containers had not been emptied from the previous residents and their used facecloths were still hanging from the shower rod ...we never could get wifi in our room (169) on our cell phone or laptop...the desk person gave us a long distance number to call their tech people which didn't seem like our responsibility and who probably were...

I will start out by saying the staff at the front desk are very friendly and check in was a breeze.
Upon entering our room we noticed that we did not have a microwave in our room and called the front desk to inform them they said someone would be by the next morning to bring one, around 4:30 the...

We stayed at this hotel in April. We arrived earlier than expected and they let us have the room. The Manager called a cab for us and she even looked for coupons for shopping. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was good (french toast, bagels, danish, etc.). There was a coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave in the room.

Booked at the last minute when a room became available during "Family Weekend" at Bucknell. While the check in and out were easy, and the room had its promised two double beds, very little else worked. No lamp was able to be turned on, so we relied on the overhead. Neither hairdryer worked. The tv crackled and crackled so badly...

Thank you for taking time to review your stay with us.I am sorry you were disappointed with your stay.Our desk is staffed 24 hrs a day in case any issues do occur. Your lights are actually controlled with the switch on the wall which needs to be in the on position. The hairdryers seem to be working properly as well...

It was okay. We were 2 friends going to see our kids' games at bucknell. It was okay enough for us but our wives would not have been thrilled. It looks like they have people living in the hotel which always makes me sad. The room was renovated and relatively clean. The sheets didn't have that crisp clean feel you...

Thank you for taking time to post a review of your stay with us. I am glad your stay was suitable for your needs. We do have some big work projects in the area that have brought several long term workers staying with us while supporting families back home. I understand people have different feelings with outdoor entrances (some like...

We read the reviews that were all over the scale but wanted to stay anyway. We stayed here several years ago when they were having staffing issues. Our travel plans changed and we were back in the area again. The rooms have been remodeled and we had a very nice stay. Some of the bad reviewers want a Hampton Inn...
